Common Wasp and Bee Questions

Why does my home have a wasp and bee problem?

There could be several reasons why your Phoenix home has a bee and wasp problem. Here are some possibilities:

  1. Nesting sites: Bees and wasps often build nests in or around homes. Common nesting sites include eaves, attics, and trees or bushes close to the house. If your home has these features, it may be more attractive to bees and wasps.

  2. Food sources: Bees and wasps are attracted to sugary and protein-rich foods. If you have uncovered garbage or pet food outside, it could be attracting them to your home.

  3. Water sources: Bees and wasps also need water to survive. If you have standing water outside, such as in a birdbath or pond, it could be drawing them in.

  4. Structural issues: Bees and wasps can enter homes through small cracks or gaps in the structure. If your home has these issues, it could be providing easy access for these pests.

  5. Seasonal factors: Bees and wasps are more active during the warmer months, as this is when they’re building nests and foraging for food. If you’re noticing a bee or wasp problem during the summer months, it could be due to this seasonal increase in activity.

If you’re experiencing a bee or wasp problem in your home, it’s important to address the issue as soon as possible to prevent it from becoming a larger infestation. Contacting Accurate Pest Control can help identify the source of the problem and provide effective solutions to eliminate the pests from your Phoenix home.

Are wasps and bees dangerous?

Both wasps and bees can be considered dangerous if they feel threatened or provoked. Both insects have stingers and can sting in defense, which can be painful and cause an allergic reaction in some people. However, it’s important to note that both wasps and bees play a vital role in pollinating plants and crops and are generally not aggressive towards humans unless their nest or hive is disturbed.

It’s important to distinguish between different types of bees and wasps, as some species are more aggressive and pose a greater danger to humans than others. For example, Africanized honey bees, also known as “killer bees,” are a more aggressive type of honey bee that can be dangerous to humans and are local to the Phoenix area.

If you’re experiencing a bee or wasp problem in or around your home, it’s best to contact Accurate Pest Control to safely and effectively remove them without harming them or causing harm to yourself. Additionally, if you or someone you know is allergic to bee or wasp stings, it’s important to seek medical attention immediately if stung.

How can I safely remove wasps and bees?

It is generally not recommended for untrained individuals to attempt to remove wasp or bee nests on their own, as this can be dangerous and result in stings. Instead, it’s best to contact a licensed pest control professional such as Accurate Pest Control who has the necessary training and equipment to safely remove the nests without harm to yourself or the insects.

If you do happen to come across a bee or wasp while outdoors, it’s important to remain calm and still, as sudden movements or loud noises can agitate them and cause them to sting. Slowly and gently move away from the area to avoid further provoking the insect.

To prevent future infestations, it’s important to seal any cracks or gaps in your Phoenix home’s exterior to prevent insects from entering. Additionally, keep garbage cans and outdoor food sources tightly sealed to avoid attracting bees and wasps.

Overall, the best way to safely remove wasps and bees is to contact a professional pest control service. They have the necessary tools and expertise to identify the species, locate the nest or hive, and safely remove the insects without causing harm to them or yourself.
